No response from QC after over a day – serious account security issue ignored
I contacted Overgear over 24 hours ago to report that one of their boosters accessed my gaming account after the order was already completed. The booster played unrelated games (Alan Wake 2 and Call of Duty) without permission, unlocking trophies and logging additional playtime. I have two-factor authentication enabled, and Overgear is the only service that’s ever had my login information — meaning there are only two possibilities: either their booster accessed my account again, or there’s a data leak on their end.
I reported this immediately and was told the issue would be escalated to their Quality Control (QC) team. I clearly requested a response by email (since I wasn’t logged into the chat system), and they confirmed the information would be sent to QC and that I’d hear back. It’s now been more than a full day with no response whatsoever — not even an acknowledgment from QC.
This isn’t a minor delay; it’s an account security breach that should have been handled urgently. The fact that Overgear’s team went silent after saying “we’ll get back to you” raises real questions about their professionalism and data handling standards.
If you value your account security or expect reliable customer support when something goes wrong, I strongly recommend avoiding this service. Their boosters apparently don’t sign out of customer accounts after completion, and their QC team doesn’t follow up when serious issues are reported.

Date of incident: October 21–22, 2025
Edit: I contacted by Overgear today, after their response was posted. They stated that their Quality Control department had “found the booster not guilty.” However, I was never contacted by QC for clarification, evidence, or any follow up before they reached that conclusion.
In other words, QC closed the case without ever speaking to the customer who reported the issue. The booster in my view accessed my account after the order was complete, played unrelated games, and unlocked trophies all verifiable activity. I offered to provide screenshots and details, but no one from Overgear asked for them.
This confirms my original concern: Overgear’s internal process avoids accountability rather than addressing problems. Their QC “investigation” consisted of deciding an outcome without consulting the person affected. The issue remains unresolved.
Edit 2: Overgear provided detail that their QC department had reviewed internal logs and “found the booster not guilty.” However, QC never contacted me for clarification or evidence before reaching that conclusion.
After I questioned this, they admitted their QC response was “shorter than usual” and “not the final word,” but the process remains opaque. I provided clear proof as game activity and trophies earned on my account after the order was completed, which did not originate from my device. No one from QC has reviewed that evidence with me directly.
This lack of direct follow-up and accountability reinforces my original view. I stand by my one-star rating and will await written confirmation by email as requested.
Edit 3 (Final Update – October 24, 2025):
After my previous update, Overgear resumed contact and admitted that their Quality Control team never contacted me during the initial review. They said the case would be reopened and requested the same evidence I had already provided.
Overgear then claimed they would issue $80 in store credit as compensation but it was never actually applied. I was told I’d need to contact them again in chat to “claim” it, effectively requiring me to chase the compensation they offered unilaterally. While being force to use what appears to be an insecure service.
The core issue of unauthorized access to my account after the order was complete stil remains unresolved. Their process still lacks accountability, and their QC team has not provided any verified explanation or outcome.
My rating remains unchanged.
